While editing our film we have often had trouble with the amount and quality of footage so as a group we decided to discuss our options; whether to carry on or start again.
We decided to start again as we believe after researching film openings we have a broader knowledge on them meaning we can make a much better film opening.
One of our problems was our opening had a resolution rather than beginning a story, which is something we will not do this second time.
We will have the filming equipment over Christmas break so that we have two weeks to film in.
We began to look at film openings and types of horror/thriller genres. A particular film opening that caught my attention was Donnie Darko
We spoke about a psychological thriller similar to that of Donnie Darko or The Sixth Sense. We liked the idea of someone either waking up in a strange place like Donnie Darko, or having strange flashback-like dreams.

Yes Charlotte!! That sounds brilliant - the idea of someone waking up, in a weird place - like it... a lot!
Can just see Sarah now, doing that 'look' of confusion as she wakes up..
Excellen idea - any chance of a plot/storyboard??
